Our Spring Garden Show 2008 Display

Johnnye Merle's Gardens is back at the Spring Garden show this year! We created a pretty rad 'Palm Springs mid century inspired' garden - come and check it out! The theme this year was green living - our garden features an awesome selection of agave's, sedums and succulents that don't require much water, and the landscape itself was constructed entirely from recycled materials - cinderblocks, old windows, and our infamous 'spaceship' 1950's umbrella!
